This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195314 titled 'TECHNOLOGIES FOR HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING OF HARDWARE RESOURCES IN NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION DEPLOYMENTS

==Simplified Explanation==

- The patent application describes technologies for organizing and managing hardware resources in network function virtualization (NFV) deployments.
- A compute node is used to create a network function profile, which includes a list of network functions that need to be deployed on the compute node.
- The compute node then translates this network function profile into a hardware profile for each interconnected hardware resource.
- The compute node deploys the network functions to the appropriate hardware resources based on the hardware profile.
- This technology allows for efficient and optimized allocation of network functions to hardware resources in NFV deployments.
- It helps in managing and organizing the hardware resources in a hierarchical manner.
- The patent application mentions that there may be other embodiments or variations of this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Technologies for the hierarchical clustering of hardware resources in network function virtualization (NFV) deployments include a compute node that is configured to create a network function profile that includes a plurality of network functions to be deployed on the compute node. Additionally, the compute node is configured to translate the network function profile usable to identify which of the plurality of network functions are to be managed by each of the plurality of interconnected hardware resources into a hardware profile for each of a plurality of interconnected hardware resources. The compute node is further configured to deploy each of the plurality of network functions to one or more of the plurality of interconnected hardware resources based on the hardware profile. Other embodiments are described herein.
